Task followers
Followers are people who receive notifications when something changes on a task, without being the assignee. Following a task is a way to stay informed about progress, decisions, and updates without being directly responsible for the work.
How to follow a task
- Open the task by clicking it.
- In the task detail page, find the Followers field.
- Click to add yourself or another team member as a follower.
You can also follow a task from the task actions menu (the three-dot menu on a task card or row) by selecting Follow.
What followers receive
Followers get notified when:
- The task is completed or reopened.
- A comment is added to the task.
- The task's status, assignee, or due date changes.
- A file is attached to the task.
- Subtasks are added or completed.
Notifications go through the same channels as other workspace notifications: in-app, email, and mobile push, depending on your notification preferences.
Followers vs assignees
Assignees are responsible for completing the task and see it in their My tasks list. Followers receive updates but the task doesn't appear in their personal task lists. A task can have multiple followers and multiple assignees at the same time.
The Following view
The main Tasks page has a built-in Following filter view in the left panel. This view shows every task you're following across your workspace, making it easy to check on work you're tracking without searching for each task individually.
Unfollowing a task
To stop receiving updates, open the task and remove yourself from the Followers field, or select Unfollow from the task actions menu.
